## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured fire safety improvement works at HMP Wayland, a public-sector prison in the United Kingdom. The works cover fire safety measures supporting risk assessment, detection, suppression and ventilation across the prison estate. They also include fit-for-purpose low-voltage electrical improvements to maintain prison operations and meet current health and safety and security standards. The requirement includes new anti-barricade cell doors compliant with HMPPS technical standards, a compliant and approved design for cell windows, and new cell call and general alarm systems meeting HMPPS technical and security standards. This is a works contract combining construction, electrical, fire-alarm and specialist custodial-estate improvement activities.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 17 October 2022 at 12:00 BST. The Ministry of Justice awarded the contract to Wates Construction on 10 July 2025. The awarded value is £69,055,084. The contract period runs from 10 July 2025 to 19 December 2028. The procurement was evaluated against the requirements set out for the works, including compliance with Ministry of Justice and HMPPS technical, security, health and safety and current built-environment standards. The recorded award is active, with Wates Construction as the selected supplier.

This award indicates substantial, multi-discipline demand for prison-estate improvement delivered by a large principal contractor. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need coordinated capability in fire safety engineering and installation, including detection, suppression and ventilation, alongside low-voltage electrical works. Experience of working in secure custodial environments would be important, particularly where operational continuity, security controls and health and safety compliance must be maintained. Relevant teams would need to design and install anti-barricade cell doors, develop approved cell-window designs, and deliver integrated cell-call and general alarm systems. Evidence of compliance with HMPPS technical and security standards, current construction standards and robust delivery capacity would be central to competing effectively.
